Sculpture Arts:
Ancient Greeks' depiction of ideal form of the body is
expressed through sculpture such as this one. Sculpture
is any three-dimensional form created as an artistic
expression. The term sculpture also refers to the
artistic discipline, act or art of making sculpture, by
the manipulation of materials or, in contemporary art,
by designating an object or even an act as sculpture.
The artist who does this is called a sculptor. Sculpture
is also the collective term for a collection or genre of
sculptures. i.e. Greek Classical Sculpture, or
Exhibition of Sculpture. The process of manipulating
materials for sculpture is to sculpt. A sculpted object
or material has been worked to resemble sculpture either
by human hands or by nature. A figure or person can be
sculpturesque meaning that it shares qualities with
classical figurative sculpture or statue.

Visual arts: are a class of art
forms, including painting, sculpture, photography, and others, that
focus on the creation of artworks which are primarily visual in
nature. The visual arts are distinguished from the performing arts,
language arts, culinary arts, and other such classes of artwork. The
definition is not strict, and many artistic disciplines involve
aspects of the visual arts as well other types.

Art is not simply the ability to manipulate
tools effectively, it is more the ability to observe and see the world
around you, interpreting the shapes, hue and shades of what you have
seen and
translating those impressions and ideas into sculptural forms.

WoodRoyal®

sculpture collection of dragon, animal, horse, wildlife, angel,
relief, bird, Indian, Chinese, Thai and Burmese gods. Our works of
art are custom made pieces in wood, teak, stone, terra-cotta,
fiberglass, sandstone, gypsum, cement and plaster. We also design
and craft teakwood architectural items, figurative sculptures and
large outdoor statues and carvings. For many years, WoodRoyal® has been highly
treasured, displayed prominently, and has proven to be a powerful
communicator continually delivering its message.

Certificate
of Authenticity is provided with every sculpture. We guarantee that every
item we

authentic product. It is genuine and the only one made by WoodRoyal®
Studio. It has been newly built by skilled
artisan. No two sculptures are
identical, thus making each one of a kind. Only authentic hand
carving is performed, no routers or machine tools of any type are
used. Our studio adds the benefits of modern management to the
ancient traditions of Thai craftsmanship to bring you the best in

AtWoodRoyal®you will witness the glory of fine carvings made out
of wood over a century old. Our works of art are
splendorous beyond
imagination. You can admire them, bring them into your home or
office, or keep for memory. Almost 100% of our wood
carvings
are made of teakwood. Teak is used because it is just soft enough to
carve and yet hard enough to resist natural erosion well. Moreover
the wood is naturally resistant to wood mites, termites, and other
insects >> more..

Sandstone and
Terra-Cotta garden sculptures: Our works of art transform the
atmosphere wherever they are placed. We create them
using traditional techniques and specially prepared clays. Our
highly-skilled artists render their works with a precision which
gives our pieces the air of authenticity. With the marks of
antiquity created through special techniques, our replicas become
indistinguishable from true antiques. The magic of the ancient world
comes back to life in the skilled hands of our sculptors. Using
their knowledge of Burmese, Chinese, Khmer, Indian, Indonesian, and
Thai artistic styles, our sculptors create replicas which have the
aura and power of ancient artifacts >>

(1238-1438). The evidence of the long existing woodcarving arts can be found
at Buddhist temples on their windows, doors and
other wooden parts >> more..

Sculpture Methods and techniques: The
sculptor as designer and as craftsman. Carving: Whatever material is
used, the essential features of the direct method of carving are the
same; the sculptor starts with a solid mass of material and reduces
it systematically to the desired form. After he has blocked out the
main masses and planes that define the outer limits of the forms, he
works progressively over the whole sculpture, first carving the
larger containing forms and planes and then the smaller ones until
eventually the surface details are reached. Then he gives the
surface whatever finish is required. Even with a preliminary model
as a guide, the sculptor's concept constantly evolves and clarifies
as the work proceeds; thus, as he adapts his design to the nature of
the carving process and the material, his work develops as an
organic whole.

Sculpture: art producing in three
dimensions representations of natural or imagined forms. It includes
sculpture in the round, which can be viewed from any direction, as well
as incised relief , in which the lines are cut into a flat surface.
Techniques and Materials: Sculpture embraces such varied techniques as
modeling, carving, casting, and construction—techniques that materially
condition the character of the work. Whereas modeling permits addition
as well as subtraction of the material and is highly flexible, carving
is strictly limited by the original block from which material must be
subtracted. Carvers, therefore, have sometimes had recourse to
construction in which separate pieces of the same or different material
are mechanically joined together. Casting is a reproduction technique
that duplicates the form of an original whether modeled, carved, or
constructed, but it also makes possible certain effects that are
impractical in the other techniques. Top-heavy works that would require
external support in clay or stone can stand alone in the lighter-weight
medium of hollow cast metal. The principal sculptural techniques have
undergone little change throughout the ages. Hand modeling in wax,
papier-mâché, or clay remains unaltered, although the firing of the clay
from simple terra-cotta to elaborately glazed ceramics has varied
greatly. Carving has for centuries made use of such varied materials as
stone, wood, bone, and, more recently, plastics, and carvers have long
employed many types of hammers, chisels, drills, gauges, and saws. For
carrying out monumental works from small studies, various mechanical
means have been developed for approximating the proportions of the
original study. Bronze casting is also a technique of extreme antiquity.
The Greeks and Chinese mastered the cire perdue (lost-wax) process,
which was revived in the Renaissance and widely practiced until modern
times. Little Greek sculpture in bronze has survived, apparently because
the metal was later melted down for other purposes, but the material
itself resists exposure better than stone and was preferred by the
Greeks for their extensive art of public sculpture. Metal may also be
cast in solid, hammered, carved, or incised forms. The mobile is a
construction that moves and is intended to be seen in motion. Mobiles
utilize a wide variety of materials and techniques. Contemporary
practice emphasizes the beauty of materials and the expression of their
nature in the work.

Ancient Sculpture: sculpture has been
a means of human expression since prehistoric times. The ancient
cultures of Egypt and Mesopotamia produced an enormous number of
sculptural masterworks, frequently monolithic, that had ritual
significance beyond aesthetic considerations. The sculptors of the
ancient Americas developed superb, sophisticated techniques and styles
to enhance their works, which were also symbolic in nature. In Asia
sculpture has been a highly developed art form since antiquity. The
freestanding and relief sculpture of the ancient Greeks developed from
the rigidity of archaic forms. It became, during the classical and
Hellenistic eras, the representation of the intellectual idealization of
its principal subject, the human form. The concept was so magnificently
realized by means of naturalistic handling as to become the inspiration
for centuries of European art >>
